Heartbreaker

Heartbreaker is a fast, tactical card game where the four suits form a shifting economy of attack, defense, and theft.

Hearts are your life.
Clubs deal damage.
Diamonds bribe clubs.
Spades dig for diamonds.

On your turn, you must act - play all cards of one suit or pay in blood. There is no healing, no hiding, and no safe way to stall.

Attack carefully: once a player is hit, they can’t be targeted again until they’ve had a turn. Big plays create openings, but overcommit and you may hand your enemy the tools to destroy you.

No custom cards required.
Print-and-play friendly.
Plays in 15-30 minutes.
